The "easy" way is to use a regular whole note rest instead of a
whole-measure rest, i.e., r1 instead of R1. However, I recognize there are
times you either don't want to consider when another staff might only have
a single note (such as in orchestral scores) or when you need it to be a
whole-measure rest because of time signature.

That said, to my eye, replacing R1 with r1 still looks sort of bad because
the rest and whole-note are left-aligned and are different widths. I
noticed this as well between the whole and quarter in bar 1.
